In this competitive world, numbers of activities and pressures for adolescents have increased remarkably. These increased pressures and activities put adjustment problems among adolescents. Self-efficacy can be a potent factor to enhance adjustment among adolescents. The present study was aimed at to see group differences (high vs. low) of self-efficacy with adjustment among adolescents. The objectives of the study are to examine the relationship between measures of adjustment and self efficacy. The sample of the study involved 194 adolescents between the age range of 14 and 16 years. The adolescents were assessed with Bell's Adjustment Inventory (Hindi Adaptation), and Self-Efficacy Questionnaire. The data were analyzed by using Pearson's Product Moment method of correlation and t-test. For mean comparisons, the sample of adolescents was classified into two extreme groups' i.e. high vs. low (Mean ± 1 S.D.) on the basis of their scores on self-efficacy and adjustment scores of their respective wards. The results showed that (i) Social adjustment, family adjustment and emotional adjustment was found to be significant negative association with self-efficacy, (ii). the two extreme groups of self-efficacy (high vs. low) showed significant differences on adjustment among adolescents.Keywords
